The S2000 rail kit can be installed in
either square- or round-holed 19-inch
LH Rail
(EIA-310) racks.
NOTE: Two-post telco-style or other rack
less than 29-inches in depth will NOT
support this unit. Also, for threaded-hole
Screws
racks, we recommend using a shelf.
The rails are not universal. They are stamped LH (left) and RH (right) and must be
mounted on the appropriate side (when facing the rack).
Attach Inner Rails to Chassis
1. Mark the screw holes where the rails are to be installed in the rack, making sure
the rear holes are level with the front holes.

catch and the tabs lock.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3
Continue with "Install the Unit in the Rack."
RH Rail Round-Holed Rack Installation
Before installing the rails on an unthreaded round-holed
rack, the round-hole adaptors must be installed on the
ends of the outer rail members.
1. Attach the adaptors:
Adaptors
a. Position the adaptor stamped "A" at the front of
the left rail.
NOTE: Make sure the "A" stamp is at the top and the square adaptor holes are aligned
with the rail hooks.
b. Press the adaptor onto the hooks and slide
it upwards until it locks (clicks) with the
tabs snapping into place.
c. Repeat Steps a–b
(stamped "B").
2. Position the left outer rail on the inside of the
front rail with the holes aligned with the
marked rack holes.
3. Loosely attach the rail front to the rack with
the screws.
4. Slide the rear rail segment rearward until the rear adaptor holes are in line
with the marked rack holes.

Install the Unit in the Rack
WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be used
during rack installation or removal to prevent injury.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour éviter toute blessure il est recommande qu'un monte-charge (ou
deux personnes au moins) soit utilisé lors de l'installation ou de l'enlèvement du
support.
1. At the front, extend both middle
rail members until they lock
(click).
2. Using a mechanical lifter (or two
people), lift and engage the
S2000 inner rails with the rack
rails.
3. Slide the S2000 into the rack
until it stops.
4. Using the two screws provided,
secure the S2000 flanges to the
rack.
Step 3 - Drive Insertion
Hook
The S2000 comes without disk drives installed (they are sold separately in singles and
4-packs). A combination of 4 to 12 SAS and/or SATA drives can be installed with blank
drive carriers filling in the remaining empty slots.
Recommended Drive Configurations
Before adding additional drive assemblies, note the following:
• Different capacity drives can be installed but should not be in the same RAID
array because capacity for all drives in the RAID is limited to the capacity of the
smallest drive member.
• Drives of different rotational speed (such as, SAS and SATA drives) can be
installed, but they should not be mixed in the same column. Additional Global Hot
Spares are needed for the different drive types.

Install Drives
(Rear)
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so voids the drive warranty.
Once the S2000 is in the rack, install the drives. Initially, the top row is empty and the
other two rows are filled with drive blanks. Remove as many blanks as needed:
1. Remove any blanks by pressing the lever release button and pulling it out.
2. Release the lever on the drive assembly, position it in front of the appropriate
bay, and slide it in until resistance is felt.
3. Push the lever in to lock the assembly in the bay.
4. Repeat
Steps 1–3 for each remaining drive carrier.
IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive assembly or a blank drive
carrier must be installed in every slot. No empty slots are allowed. A minimum of four
drives must be installed for proper operation.
